The Differences Between Men and Women.

I know this is an overdone topic. Yet, I still have to write about it....cause it's just something that is so applicable to my life at this point.

1. Girls LOVE hugs....boys just think they are okay.
2. Girls like to have conversation all of the time...apparently boys don't. (I thought I was a quiet person until I got into a serious relationship...I always like to have a good conversation going...ALL OF THE TIME!)
3. Boys take everything literally. If I tell my fiance' that he ALWAYS watches t.v. (this is just an example b/c he doesn't watch that much) he'll say that he only watches it for 2 hours a day and that's definitely not always.
4. I thought that only my dad liked to read the newspaper...apparently I was wrong.
5. Boys like stick shift.
6. That's all I can think of right now...I guess when I get married I'll be able to point out so much more. :0 If you care to enlighten me before I get married...it would be great if you added to the list.

My Hidden Talents

So we all have some hidden "talents" that not too many know about. Here are a few of mine. I'd be thrilled if you shared your secret talents on my blog.

1. I won a crocheting competition in a regional contest in highschool (I really shouldn't have...but there were only three contestants)

2. I can make my fingers pop on command repeatedly.

3. I can sleep through almost anything. (Really loud thunder storms, snoring...you name it)

4. I can eat cheese and jelly together and enjoy it.

5. I can sleep just about any time of the day. (I don't know if this is a talent...it is sure not helpful when I'm studying.)

Things I Think Need To Be Invented

After thinking about my life for a while...I've decided that there are a few things that aren't a reality yet. I think they should be. Here goes....

1. A pill that would help me stop drinking Diet Coke....Smokers get a patch..I think Diet Coke addicts could use something like that too!

2. A car that drives itself and was guaranteed to never get in an accident.

3. A hair dryer that actually used cold air to dry your hair in the summer. (I know these supposedly exist...but they don't work and my finger gets tired holding that blue button down) I hate feeling like I need to take a second shower after I fix my hair in the summer.

4. A website for friends...I'm not talking facebook or MySpace. I'm talking about something like Friend-Harmony (instead of e-harmony). That way when you move to a new place you could find friends who were also looking for friends with the same interests. (maybe this already exists?) I stated this need because we ALL know it's not cool to contact someone on MySpace if you don't know them.

5. Shoes with heaters in them. My feet are NEVER warm. It drives me crazy.

Kombucha....

Kombucha...it just sounds like a product that could heal you by saying the word three times. I actually have a mushroom in my fridge that I'm trying to gain courage to grow. Here's a list of the health benefits I've heard it has when people drink it daily.

1. Helps clear skin.
2. Helps with digestion.
3. Helps with prostrate problems.
4. Helps control diabetes.
5. Helps control weight.
6. Helps the immune system.

Does it not sound like a wonder product? Do you think I should try it or not?!?

Last FIVE books I've Read....

1. Their Eyes Were Watching God.

2. Five People You Meet in Heaven.

3. Love is a Decision.

4. The Memory Keepers Daughter.

5. Wuthering Heights.

I won't tell you how long it has taken me to complete these books. School tends to take priority over my love of reading. What are the last five books you read? Would you recommend them? I happened to enjoy all 5 of these books-except Love is a Decision-I just learned a lot from that one!

What's With That___?!?

Do you ever see things that make you say "What is With THAT _______!?!?" What do you usually fill the blank in with. Here's some of the top words that frequent my vocabulary.

1. Outfit...I try not to be too judging in this area..but some outfits definitely deserve a "what's with that?" statement....ex-People walking around the U of MN during the dead of winter with shorts on.

2. Hair....I definitely have seen some crazy hair in my life. There's a large family that goes to my local barnes and noble who I believe have never cut their hair (the men and women both) I always wonder how their shower drain works.

3. Car...I REALLY shouldn't be saying this since I drove a car that was two different colors with a huge smash on the sides...but hey...a hot pink mini-van with ground effects and spinners is definitely begging for attention.

4. Paint Job....you know the houses I'm talking about. The neon yellow ones with bright pink trim?? I'm sure everyone has one of those in their towns.

5. Bridesmaid dress....this actually makes me a little nervous since I will be getting married soon...but I know every woman has thought it at least once in her life!

Career Options I've Considered Throughout My Life.
